Description

Exhibit in the heart of the city

The Island is a studio complex, arts facility and events space located in a unique site, the Old Bridewell Police Station in Bristol’s city centre.
We now have opportunities for artists of all mediums to exhibit, perform, hold workshops, forums, theatre shows and photography shoots in the Gallery Space.

The Gallery Space is a large room with a stunning over-head windows which produce a vast amount of natural light.

This space is hugely flexible to the requirements of the user. As well as the main space, there is also access to an adjoining smaller d-shape room which can either be used as an extension of the gallery or as a back house area.

The Island encourage artists to fully use the space for programming additional events related to your exhibition such as talks, workshops and networking opportunities.

The Island is an Equal Opportunities and All Welcome creative space.
